Hey, I am a Peace Corp volunteer from Puerto Rico who is currently serving in Machala, Ecuador. I love traveling and meeting new people and cultures wherever I go. When I travel the experience is what matters. You guys can call me Yoni. Also, take into account I am gay, just in case that bothers you. I do not bite tho, I am a pretty good person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new peoples and I think this in an excellent way of doing it. I like moving around. I think this can be the best way to actually meet the cities that I visit and meet great people. Y pues, hay que vivir la vida.
